I guess that means yet another release with broken zsh when the fix
would be just updating the package to upstream, as upstream developers
recommend.

I mean OpenSuse and Ubuntu think zsh 4.3.x it's good enough for their
release, not to mention that even Debian includes 4.3 in their *stable*
release. Only the fedora maintainer sticks to 4.2 leaving everyone who
is using a UTF-8 locale with a broken shell.
This is just ridiculous.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
